Why Is The Moon Moving Away From Earth?

  • Have you ever looked up at the moon and wondered if it would ever move away from Earth? Well, you're not alone. And the answer might surprise you: the Moon is moving away from us. Scientists have been studying this phenomenon for decades, and the reasons are fascinating. Let’s dive into the question on everyone's mind!
    ---
    Before we get into the science behind it, let's take a quick look at the history of our moon. One of the prevailing theories is that the Moon formed around 4.5 billion years ago, shortly after the formation of the solar system. The current leading theory suggests that the Moon formed from debris left over after a Mars-sized object collided with Earth, sending debris into space that eventually coalesced to form the Moon. This collision would have had a profound impact on Earth, likely causing massive disruptions to the planet's climate and geology.
    Reasons Why Moon Moves Away from Earth
    So, why is this happening?
    The answer lies in two main factors: the Moon and Earth rotation and the gravitational interaction between the Moon and the Earth.
    If Moon escapes Earth
    It is important to note that this scenario is highly unlikely to occur anytime soon. The Moon is currently moving away from the Earth at a rate of about 3.8 centimeters per year, but it would take billions of years for it to move far enough away to escape the Earth's gravity altogether. Nevertheless, let's consider the hypothetical consequences of the Moon's disappearance.

      Sorry, but you've hashed it up. It's the tidal bulge (not equatorial bulge) that's relevant, and it's Earth's rotation on its axis being faster than the Moon's rotation about Earth that causes the bulge to be ahead of the Moon in its orbit, pulling the moon forward, not slowing it down) causing its orbit to expand.
      This pulling the Moon forward is also pulling back on the Earth's rotation, slowing down that rate of rotation.

    The Moon is moving away from Earth because Earth rotates more quickly on its axis than the Moon rotates about it.
    This results in the tidal bulge on the Earth's surface being dragged ahead of where it would otherwise be, that is, it's ahead of the moon in its rotation about the Earth. This bulge minutely pulls the Moon forward in its orbit, giving it a slight acceleration, if an object is accelerated in the direction that it orbits, it will move outwards.
    For similar reasons the Martian moon Phobos is moving closer to Mars.
    Phobos moves about Mars faster than Mars rotates on its axis, so the tidal bulge on Mars moves across the martian surface slightly behind Phobos in its orbit, pulling back on Phobos, slowing it down. Slow an object in orbit down and its orbit will move in, towards its primary.

    Tidal forces between the Earth and the Moon...the Moon's pull slows down the Earth's rotation as the Earth's pushes the Moon outward in it's orbit.

    • @andrewworth7574
      @andrewworth7574 8 месяцев назад +1

      Nearly right, but gravity doesn't "push", the tidal forces (from the tidal bulge) pull the Moon forward in its orbit, accelerating it, if an object in orbit is accelerated, its orbit moves out.

    I know that the Astronauts place a mirror on the moon. But could their findings be flawed? 3.8 CM is so hard to read at that distance. And with the Moon moving closer. Than fared every month. It's hard to believe what NASA is saying about this. And doesnt weather conditions make reading hard?

  • @walter6574
    @walter6574 6 месяцев назад

    I don't buy this explanation of why the moon is moving further away from the earth for the simple reason because it is an ellipse, and the moon is closer at some point wouldn't that mean the moon should me moving closer to the earth? See how I just did the flip side of the explanation and came out with polar opposite conclusion?
    I believe the moon is moving further away from the earth because the entire universe is expanding. Meaning every heavenly body is moving away from all other heavenly bodies, the redshift of stars supports that.

    Earth Orbit is more than a quarter million miles wide as conformed by the distance of it's Moon, which is said to be
    moving away, but it's more of an adjustment to it's Orbit, because of Energy expansion between Earth and the Moon, that caused it to always secure a safe smart Orbit at the weakest areas of Earth Energy Flow, away from the stronger Energy that may interfere with it's Orbit, it's the very reason why the Moon don't fall to Earth Surface.
    Earth Tides can be explained in three words, FLOAT and SINK.
    Stick your finger in a glass of water to see the level rise, pulling out to see it fall, the same happens whenever Earth to Moon Energy Connection passes through it's soft Oceans Surface pulling the Solid Land under for a high Tide, and the low Tide comes when the dry Land is pulled away from the Oceans.
    Gravity is a myth, and has been Debunked.
    The air we breathe, Burning Solid Objects, Resurrection from the dead, and more, they all Debunk's Gravity.
